An example of how to run a campaign -- Kaine in VA

Kaine denounced Kilgore’s ads as inaccurate and said in his own ads, “I’ll enforce death sentences handed down by Virginia juries because that’s the law.” But he also said he did not think the death penalty was necessary in order to have a safe society.

If you have a stand on a hot-button issue, instead of trying to have it both ways. Stand up for yourself. It's amazing how well boldness, honesty and daring work. Maybe that should be a lesson for other Democrats. Get out front on an issue, explain your position and diffuse it quickly.

Negative ads don't work. But they must be renounced in a positive way. Ignoring them is not the answer.

2. I think VA and NJ just saw the death of negative advertising.

Republicans have always been the ones who say, "Well, it works." and now we know it doesn't so long as it is responded to.
